Question Dayseemal...or Point?

Quessy for you International chappies...and chappesses.

Is there any other Country than the USA that uses the word "point" rather than "day-see-mal" when giving radio frequencies on the R/T?

I don't mean "will they accept/understand it", I mean that the USA has filed an official International difference from ICAO - has anybody else?

Secondly...can anybody say why the use of "point" is either a good or a bad thing (relative to day-see-mal)?
